Morning girls,

I had a better night last night all the kids slept really well.Hope it last

Nic- Gee just when you think the little ones are getting into a really good sleep pattern,it just doesn`t seem to last long enough.Sometimes when Kieren wakes now i offer him a drink,then tell him lay on your pillow,he`s pretty good,i don`t get too,many tears from him or sometimes he likes a cuddle then he falls asleep on my shoulder and i can put him straight back into the cot.

Well,i better be off,got to go & get some food shopping done today....or we will be eating the grass for dinner,lol.
Hi to everyone,have a good day!

(PS) Is anyone having troubles getting their little ones to eat dinner,Kieren doesn`t want to eat his dinner,has a couple of mouthfuls and screams to get out of the high chair,& I`ve tried to feed him on the lounge..etc...just not interested in eating,...maybe more teeth do you think?????? Girls!!!! Thanks Susan.xxx.

Susan - Our eating issue at the moment is that Olivia is refusing to eat anything that she can't eat on her own. So anything (except yoghurt) that I try to give her on a spoon is instantly rejected She is trying to be Miss Independent but I also think she is getting fussy because her teeth are moving around. I've decided that for a little while it doesn't matter if she just has finger food or fruit and yoghurt for dinner, at least she is eating something. We took her to a paediatric (sp?) dentist a few weeks ago and she said that it looks like Livi's molars are coming up so we are putting a lot of the fussiness and grumpiness down to that at the moment.

Nic - We have had a few very bad nights lately with Olivia. For some reason she has been waking up absolutely hysterical at about 10:30-11pm and refusing to go back to sleep without a lot of cuddling and rocking.

Lauren - I'm glad the dinner went well. The photos on FB were great, I am sure Ash will love growing up with cousins about the same age as him.

Hi to everyone else

I went to a mums and bubs movie session yesterday and I still can't get over the mum who was sitting in front of me. She had twins with her who were about 4 months old who were happily gurgling and sometimes having a little (and I mean little) whinge and this woman just turned to them (they were on the couch next to her) and said 's**t up' - more than once!!! She didnt try quietly saying 'shhhhh' or rocking them or feeding them, she just jumped straight to swearing! I can understand getting frustrated but seriously these bubs were being very good and much better than Olivia was being (I just kept feeding her and talking quietly to her as a distraction). Olivia was in fact a little pain at the movie but really I wasn't expecting to get to sit there in peace, I mean how can you expect the littles to be perfectly quiet for the 2 hours that you want them to be?!

Hope you all have a good day!

Olivia pretty much refuses to eat unless she is sitting with the boys. I did manage to get her to sit in the high chair last night but I don't think she ate as much as normal which is why she woke I think. I hadn't used the high chair for about 3 weeks I think she sits with me when she has brekky and the boys have a kiddy table they sit at (we are slack and eat on the couch) and she now sits at the table with them

alicia: Those poor bubbas.. I hope she was just having a bad day and was in serious need of a break and that was her break..

Well morning coffee done with time to mop the bloomin floors

Hi ladies,

It`s very quiet in here,hope everyone is doing ok.

Alicia & Nic- Well,Kieren is refusing to stay seated in his high chair,even with the harness on,he wiggles and yells to get out,so we sit him on our lap,but only plays with his food,he doesn`t like us trying to feed him, Mr independant here too.lol.
We all sit a our kitchen table i won`t let the kids watch tv,at dinner time or the other just want eat whats on their plates too absorb in the trashy shows on tv,lol.

Well,Kieren has managed to eat some soft pear,yogurt,& some chopped up chicken & cheese on a small bread roll today,it`s the most he`s had for a few weeks.i suppose as long as they are drinking i don`t have too much to worry about.

I don`t think i would be game taking my two young ones to the movies,although Kieren is a really good boy,but Tiger is a little......u know what!!!!

I hope everyone is having a good day,i have too little ones asleep,YAY.....now iam going to have lunch.

hi everyone, just a quick one whilst ash is quiet for 30seconds.. he still very very sick, throwing up all night, was up from 130am - 6am walking around with him just trying to stop him vomitting so he could keep the nurofen down. he had a dose at 6.30 and it knocked him out till about 11am (give or take a couple wakings cos of wind)

Hes been on panadol since wednesday night at the emergency room and its been 48 hours since yesterday.. has anyone kept giving panadol for longer than 48hours???
I havent giving him anymore this morning as i dont want to..... does any one recomened asking a doctor or something?? i know its viral, so theres nothing he can do but get his body to fight it off..... but im just worried if he keeps going tonight and im giving him too much medicine... ????????

[aussienic]

Lauren I would take him to the Dr.. Does he have fevers? (sorry I must have missed our post on him being sick) If he can't keep anything down then definetl get him to the Dr.. 48 hours is a long time..

poor little man.. I hope he is on the mend soon

Sorry for slack post.. My eyes are hanging out of my head. I did my usual night shift thing and went across the road for a chat.. At midnight I said I better go home I spose.. Well 1:30 I managed it by the time I showered and actually fell asleep it was closer to 3.. OMG why do I do it

As I said to my mum this morning I am seriously enjoying this ME time.. It is so nice to talk to another adult (with no kids around) other then Simon.. And she addicted to ebay to hahaha.. so far we haven't bought anything Although I did buy Livi a new hat off thier last week.. $5 bargain. Cute little fifi and the flower pots (?) one


Susan.. I would just simply buckle him in the high chair and tighten the straps and say NO it is dinner time and even if you dn't want to eat everyone else is.. It is time to sit as a family

Might not no probably won't work but hey thats the only advice I can come up with right now

[Buzzie]

Omg i just realised, we were in the emergency tuesday night not wednesday.. hmm being friday maybe i should go to the GP. He seems ok atm and has had a couple of chips for lunch (its the only thing i could get him to eat) and its staying down so far....
i might go over to the chemist and ask about the panadol.. im sure tonight wont be so easy, seems to go down hill very quickly at night.....

I know its not important, but my first week of being back at work full time and ive had 3 days off... thankgod my boss has 2 little kids .... !

Hi All,

Buzzie - I had Loren on panadol and nuerofen for 4 days straight around the clock. Doctor told me to because she was having convulsions. If Ash has been throwing up for that many days I would take him to the doctor just incase he is dehydrated too.

Hugs to all
